But now ive got people that want to distract us, not only distract us from trying to negotiate a reasonable outcome from daca, but add to distraction and create the toxic environment that shutting down the government will cause. If you go back, whats amazing to me is the very people who are now saying we should shut down the government made these kind of statements in the past.
